Common Problems It Can Help Solve

• Wipers stop working or move intermittently
• Wiper blades park in the wrong position
• Wipers stall in the middle of the windshield
• Noisy operation from a worn motor or gear set
• Weak wiping performance in rain, snow, or heavy weather

Installation Notes

Confirm the vehicle uses a front direct-bolt wiper motor with blade terminals before installation. If the wipers do not park correctly after replacement, inspect the crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset it according to the vehicle service procedure. If the vehicle has a moisture-sensitive wiper system, verify the rain sensor and control module operation before replacing the motor. Bench test the wiper motor and washer pump together when diagnosing a no-operation condition, since some systems will not run the motor if the washer pump has failed.

Quality Assurance

Cardone builds this new wiper motor using design updates based on long-term remanufacturing experience, with stronger gear material, load testing, and torque-focused magnet design to support dependable operation in harsh weather. E-waste designation is noted for this part.
